The summit arrives as organizations struggle to align large-scale transformation initiatives with the day-to-day reality of their staff. According to Stacey Bailey, Vice President of Product at HCI, the ability to help employees adapt has become the primary metric for long-term business success. The curriculum focuses on equipping managers to guide teams through uncertainty while simultaneously reducing burnout and fostering a culture of continuous growth.

Industry leaders scheduled to speak include DeRetta Rhodes of the Atlanta Braves, Jeremy Browder from Coinbase, Mary Fairchild of Expedia Group, and Janelle Jordan from GoDaddy. These sessions will shift away from abstract theory, focusing instead on practical frameworks for building trust and engagement during periods of organizational volatility. Sponsored by PerformYard, the event targets HR professionals seeking to move beyond traditional management models to support a more adaptable workforce.
